[/img] Hello All...I have truely enjoyedall the great postings, true gentlemenship throughout, not to mention, all the great sharingof experience, and the most common denominator..we all have the passion FOR FISHING!!
I'm originally from Albuquerque and havesince been fishing about two days after crawling...not really..maybe three..Combined fresh& salt waterclose to 35+ years fishing.Being in theArmedForces about 30 lbs ago, I was fortunate to fish from some of the various places I was stationed MA, TX, Hawaii, or washaving to visit by UncleSam's order Kwajalene atoll and other Pacific /Central places. Most of my fishing has been lake,stream and river, however in the last 10 years ofdone a fair share of shore fishing. I had a20' open bow but after getting skunkedat some of the local lakes(Casitas, Piru & Cachuma) a lot. I really at one time questioning myskill that worked everywhere else.I finally got a boat that can go on both lake and sea.A26' cabin cruiser.I really want the bigger fish NOW!! Slowly I'm getting geared upfor salt H2o fishing and really look forward to the summer bite.
